Chapter 3: The Journey to the Island
The next morning, Denver Joe woke up early.
He did not tell anyone about the message.
Not his father.
Not the staff in the house.
This felt… different.
This felt like something only he was meant to know.
He packed a small bag.
A few clothes.
Some money.
His phone.
He looked around his big room one last time.
Then he left quietly.
At the airport, everything felt normal.
People rushed past him.
Flights were announced.
No one knew where he was going.
Because even he wasn’t sure.
He walked to the ticket counter.
“Where would you like to go?” the lady asked.
Denver Joe paused.
Then he said the only words in his mind.
“Nearest place to Sun Island.”
The lady looked confused.
“I’m sorry… I don’t see that location.”
Denver Joe felt a strange worry.
Then—
His phone buzzed.
He quickly looked at it.
A new message.
“Take the flight to Honolulu.”
He looked up.
“Honolulu,” he said.
The lady nodded and began typing.
Hours later, Denver Joe landed in Honolulu.
The air felt warm.
The breeze smelled of salt and sea.
For a moment, everything felt calm.
Then his phone buzzed again.
“Go to the old harbor.”
The harbor was quiet.
Too quiet.
Small boats moved gently with the waves.
An old man stood near one of them.
He looked at Denver Joe and smiled.
“I’ve been waiting,” the man said.
Denver Joe stepped back slightly.
“Waiting? For me?”
The old man nodded.
“Sun Island is not on any map,” he said.
“You cannot find it.”
“Then how—?” Denver Joe began.
The old man pointed to the boat.
“It finds you.”
The sky slowly turned darker.
The sea grew quiet.
Denver Joe hesitated.
Something inside him said this was not normal.
But another voice, deep inside, told him to trust.
He stepped into the boat.
The old man untied the rope.
The engine did not start.
Instead…
The boat began to move on its own.
Slowly at first.
Then faster.
The lights of the city faded behind them.
Soon, there was nothing but darkness and water.
The waves began to glow.
Soft blue light shimmered beneath the boat.
Denver Joe looked down in amazement.
“What is happening?” he whispered.
The old man did not answer.
He only smiled.
Suddenly—
A thick mist rose from the sea.
It surrounded the boat completely.
Denver Joe could see nothing.
No sky.
No water.
Only white mist.
His heart beat faster.
Then…
He heard something.
A voice.
Soft.
Familiar.
“Welcome…”
The mist slowly began to clear.
And far ahead…
An island appeared.
Palm trees.
Golden sand.
A quiet shore.
Denver Joe stood still.
“Is that…?”
The old man nodded.
“Yes,” he said.
“That is Sun Island.”
Meanwhile…
On the shore, children sat around Old Maro.
Listening.
Waiting.
One child spoke softly.
“Is that when he arrived?”
Old Maro looked at the sea and smiled.
“Yes,” he said.
“But he did not come alone.”
The children looked confused.
“What do you mean?”
Old Maro leaned closer.
“The island,” he said quietly, “was already waiting for him.”

 Denver Joe  FANTASY ADVENTURE STORY SERIES OgreHills -1-   Chapter 1: The Story Begins on Sun Island Sun Island was quiet and beautiful. It rested in the blue waters near the Hawaiian Islands. Tall palm trees swayed gently in the wind. The waves moved slowly, as if they were whispering secrets. Only a few people lived on the island. But every evening, something special happened. As the sun began to set, children from all around the island ran toward a small wooden hut near the shore. They came smiling and laughing. They came to listen. Inside the hut lived the oldest man on Sun Island. Everyone called him Old Maro. Old Maro was a fisherman. His face was lined with age, and his beard was white like sea foam. But his eyes were bright and full of life. Every morning, he went out to the sea in his small boat. Every evening, he returned. And every evening, he told stories. “Come, sit,” Old Maro said, as the children gathered around him. The sky turned ...

Chapter 2: The Boy Who Lived in a Different World Far away from Sun Island, in a busy city full of lights, lived a boy named Denver Joe. His world was very different. Tall buildings touched the sky. Cars moved fast on wide roads. People were always busy, always in a hurry. Denver Joe lived in a huge house. It had tall gates, shining floors, and more rooms than he could count. His father was a very rich businessman. People came and went all day, talking about money, deals, and big plans. But Denver Joe did not care much about those things. He often felt alone. He had everything—but something was missing. One evening, as the sun was setting, Denver Joe sat by his window. He looked out at the city lights turning on, one by one. His phone lay beside him. Suddenly… It buzzed. He picked it up. There was a message. But it was strange. There was no name. No number. Just a few words: “...
